The Platform Built for How Strategy Actually Works
Elate was founded by Strategy and Operations Leaders who set out to build the platform they always wished they had. A platform designed to turn bold ideas into real outcomes. Today, we help organizations execute strategy with clarity, confidence, and AI-powered precision.
The Elate Story
Built by Strategy and Operations Leaders, For Strategy and Operations Leaders
Elate was born out of the pain our founding team felt firsthand. Not as CEOs, but as the Strategy and Operations Leaders responsible for turning vision into execution. We lived the challenges of disconnected planning cycles, manual reporting, and the constant pressure to keep teams aligned while the business kept moving.
The tools we had weren’t made for the job. Slides, spreadsheets, and dashboards were disconnected. Project management tools focused on tasks, not outcomes. OKR software lacked context. And performance systems were built for someone else entirely.
We needed a platform that understood how strategy actually works: cross-functional, messy, and always evolving. A platform that could bring order to the chaos and help organizations adapt as they grow.
So in 2019, we built Elate — the first platform purpose-built for Strategy and Operations teams to align their people, automate reporting, and move strategy forward.
But strategy work keeps changing. Planning cycles are shorter. Data lives everywhere. Teams are distributed. Expectations are higher. And tracking progress isn’t enough anymore.
That’s why we built Strategy Advisor — an AI engine built to help leaders move from identifying problems to solving them faster. It’s not just another chatbot or analytics tool. Strategy Advisor is a true partner that understands how strategy gets done.
This isn’t just the next product launch. It’s the next chapter in our mission: to help companies turn bold visions into measurable outcomes.
Because we believe the future of strategy won’t be defined by dashboards or disconnected systems, but by clarity, confidence, and connection. That’s the future we’re building at Elate.
What We Believe
Grow thoughtfully
We move quickly but intentionally. With each step forward we take, we do so with the end outcome in mind. We trust our gut and are mission-minded, ensuring that each opportunity we say “yes” to aligns with our end goal.
Embrace challenges
We set lofty goals and do not fear the unknown. We see challenges as opportunities to grow individually and as a team. We know that nothing is impossible and do not fear failure, but rather welcome the opportunity to learn together.
Seek feedback early and often
We know that two heads are better than one and that the best outcomes are born out of multiple iterations. We work quickly and seek continuous feedback, ensuring we are headed in the right direction. We pivot when needed and welcome constructive criticism in all that we do.
Lead with empathy
We are people-first and take active interest in one another. We seek to listen and understand our teammates and customers. We encourage one another in becoming the best versions of ourselves personally and professionally.
Celebrate the wins
We celebrate wins, both big and small, knowing that each and every success has a compounding effect. We lift one another up and spotlight each other’s accomplishments. We believe it is the small triumphs that ultimately set the stage for the large triumphs. No blame game, only fame game.
Life at Elate
We are a team of strategists, builders, and operators who believe there’s a better way to turn vision into results. We work fast, stay curious, have fun, and never lose sight of the impact our customers make through the plans they execute.
